The Longing

1997

At night when I sleep you haunt my soul

Invading my dreams, awakening my constant hunger

Then my day drags with every vision

A constant reminder of you and it eats me alive

I don’t need you to satisfy my child-like cravings

I don’t want you to touch my heart

I try to forget the nights we spent together

I try to forget the power of your touch

I try to forget all your promises of forever

But I cant erase your love

I don’t want you to carve out my dreams in stardust and glitter

I don’t just ache for it

Baby I long for you

And I can still taste your flesh on my tongue

I am longing

A year trying to capture a new horizon

A hunter of new love, hard to replace

It doesn’t matter the game I am after

I can only see your face

I don’t need you to satisfy my child-like cravings

I don’t want you to touch my heart

I don’t want you to carve out my dreams in stardust and glitter

I don’t just ache for it

Baby I long for you

And I can still taste your flesh on my tongue

I am longing

Another fine example of pining away for love lost. It took me several years to get over this man. At this point in 1997 I had well moved on, but every once in a while that haunting hurt and want came sneeking back up on me. In 1997 my life would change significantly. The longing for this person would finally disappear for the last time.
